They were highly pleased with the discipline of the troops, who went through their different manoeuvres Majority in favour of Mr. noublon 1147 ' Mr. BURGOYNE, it seems; is still resolved to per severe till the last moment, according to the sage and disinterested advice of Mr. CLII'FORD. The town of Chelmsford was yesterday thronged with people, - as it was Market-day. Mr. BURGOYNE at ! tempted to harangue the populace, but the tumult and violence was so strongly against him, that he was obliged to desist. YeSterday the Commander in Chief, Sir DAVID DUNDAS, held a Military Levee at, the Horse Guards, which Was numerously attended. Letters, dated September the 3d, have been re ceived from Calcutta, but they do not contain any. intelligence of importance. l e esterday a Court of Dire6tors was held at the India House, when Captain PETER CAMERON was sworn into the command of the ship Ann, consigned to Madras and Bengal. It is again reported that Josunt BUONAI.ARTE has been seized by the Spanish Patriots, and sent a prisoner to Seville. We doubt not, however, that the soi-disant Monarch is too wary to be easily en.. trapped by his rebellious luljects. There is another report, which we did not think worth notice .yes terday, brought by six Portuguese sailors in a trawl boat to Plymouth, implying that an insurrealion had burst forth at Oporto. Among other articles of news lately arrived froth Arabia, is an account of the death of ItoGE, thOtnau. who has been - accused of administering poisOn to .500 of BONAPARTE'S sick and wounded soldiers. on.: his death-bed, he was asked by a person of the name of BATHS, what he Would say to. the angel 3 GABRIEL, in justification of that inhuman act ?•- ROGE is said to have answered with the utmost sang : froid, " that he would tell the angel that he, BATHS, would not have dared to affront-him in the gross manner , he did, if he had been in good health and strength." This reply is rather a denial; than an acknowledgment of the atrocious crime. Lieutenant SHINE has been appointed to his Ma jesty's ship Mars. to the satisfaaion of their illustrious Commander and all the English Officers present. The accounts which we receive from our armies are of the mot satisfaetory nature. They are on the best possible footing, both in point of strength and dexterity. It appears by all the intelligence received from Spain, that the French forces in that country have not yet been reinforced in any considerable de gree, to judge from the movements which . they have hitharto made. The Spanish army either maid tain their position, being considerably reinforced, or inove•forwards against the enemy. In short every thing announces the most fortunate result. Yesterday a report was circulated on the strength of letters from Castilles Blanco, that General CA -2./AFA attacked and' defeated VICTOR'S army in La Mancha, the remains of which fled in the utmost confusion in the direction of Madrid. JAN. B.—ACCOrding to ititellige t nce re- ceived from a Gentleman of great respectability; the French force in Talavera de la .Reina consists of about 8000 tnen, horse and foot : they.occupy To ledo, and are incessantly manuvering and working at the fortifications ; the French troops in Madrid do the same. All this shews that they do .not • pe6t any considerable reinforcements, but merely endeavour to'Maintain thethselves in their present positions, without being able to make the least pro gress in their conquests. CADIZ, DEC. 3t.—The following patriotic trait of,the intrepid RISK A, aho so successively harassed the enemy in the North, deserves honourable mew- Con :—Among a number of prisoners lately . made by his party, was the Lady of a French General, 'who-offered him a ransom of 6000 piastres : " Send me 6000 stand of arms," answered MENA, " and you shall have the Lady." Retrograde movements are observed among the French troops in Castile, and the army of the Duke DEL PAREW E is said to be again advancing.
